College of Arts & SciencesClaude E. Gagna, Ph.D., professor of biological and chemical sciences, published his article, concerning a new approach to cancer research, based on the work of the famous biochemist, Otto H. Warburg, and his hypothesis, i.e., the Warburg Effect, in Skinmed on February 3, 2022. The article focuses on how this approach to determine the origins of human cancer, which are still not fully understood, applies to pathologies of human skin.

HumanitiesJonathan Goldman, Ph.D., professor of English, Department of Humanities, published in the Village Voice, on January 31, 2022. The article celebrates the centenary of Joyce's novel Ulysses and specifically the women who helped it reach the public: New Yorkers Margaret Anderson, Jane Heap, Josephine Bell, and Frances Steloff, plus Sylvia Beach, Harriet Shaw Weaver, Josephine Murray, and of course Nora Barnacle. "Their efforts and sacrifices to support, publish, and promulgate Joyce鈥檚 work, and the disrespect and other [stuff] they put up with, were essential to the journey of Ulysses from Joyce鈥檚 hands into ours."
Kate E. O'Hara
Interdisciplinary StudiesKate E. O鈥橦ara, Ph.D., associate professor of interdisciplinary studies, published her chapter 鈥淭ranscending and Transforming: Teaching and Learning in the Time of Covid 19,鈥� in the edited volume, from Information Age Publishing on December 30, 2021. O鈥橦ara鈥檚 chapter is part of a scholarly collection of creative pieces; stories of lived curricula. The chapter is a shared narrative, interspersed with writing and anecdotes from undergraduate students working remotely on a service-learning project.
